Enhanced cell disruption strategy in the release of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen from Pichia pastoris using response surface methodology

Abstract

BackgroundCell disruption strategies by high pressure homogenizer for the release of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) from Pichia pastoris expression cells were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on the central composite design (CCD). The factors studied include number of passes, biomass concentration and pulse pressure. Polynomial models were used to correlate the above mentioned factors to project the cell disruption capability and specific protein release of HBsAg from P. pastoris cells.ResultsThe proposed cell disruption strategy consisted of a number of passes set at 20 times, biomass concentration of 7.70 g/L of dry cell weight (DCW) and pulse pressure at 1,029 bar. The optimized cell disruption strategy was shown to increase cell disruption efficiency by 2-fold and 4-fold for specific protein release of HBsAg when compared to glass bead method yielding 75.68% cell disruption rate (CDR) and HBsAg concentration of 29.20 mg/L respectively.ConclusionsThe model equation generated from RSM on cell disruption of P. pastoris was found adequate to determine the significant factors and its interactions among the process variables and the optimum conditions in releasing HBsAg when validated against a glass bead cell disruption method. The findings from the study can open up a promising strategy for better recovery of HBsAg recombinant protein during downstream processing.

“…The advancement of molecular biology, PCR technique has been broadly used to amplify the desired gene and had been proven as one of the most effective molecular diagnoses (Sadiq et al, 2017;Chan et al, 2007). An amplified gene products can be used as important genetic materials for further genetic analysis and gene expression studies (Razis et al, 2006;Tam et al, 2012;Ismail et al, 2012) functions. Furthermore, PCR could be utilized to produce complete genome sequence by closing the gaps in genome scaffold thus providing a valuable information regarding any organism (Balakrishnan et al, 2015) PCR technique is well known to produce quick confirmatory test for ORFV.…”

“…The mechanical methods including bead mill and high‐pressure homogenizer are based on solid shears and liquid shears, respectively, and they are widely used in commercial scale . The robustness of these techniques on cell disruption is well proven; however, since these techniques are non‐specific in cell disruption, they make the subsequent clarification and purification processes more challenging .…”
